Paper Abstract: How to better take into account ethical and sustainability issues in technological innovation and « food culture »? In our opinion, artistic practice is a powerful tool to examine ethical and sustainability dimensions of technological developments. By working with “the collective unconscious” and using a sensitive approach, the artist questions technological developments’ nature and very meaning and therefore appeals to deep user’s motivations. Through this workshop, based on a survey-type experimentation derived from the performance “The Temple Had Oblique Windows”, we indicate how « food » and “lighting” concepts have been fashioned from both an artistic and sustainable innovation perspective. We expose how the confrontation with a panel of users produced complementary results to Ux approaches on innovations “social frameworks of comprehension”.
